If you're still confused, or math impaired, just call 4" straps 5k, take load weight, round up to nearest 5k, and divide, that is the whole 200% vs 100 % thing, doing it that way gets you Waaaaaaay over dot requirements in almost every situation
Btw, if you're hauling a 20 k peice of plate, please use chains and an x-chain setup, a bulkhead or strap will do absolutely nothing if it gets the chance to break inertia, (juggernaut from xmen, same concept)street beater Thanks this. -
